Fetal Development of the Brain (2)
Neural tube forms into a tubular structure with 3 cavities. Neural tube stays intact

Fissure

Flow of Cerebral Spinal Fluid

*Made in the CHORICOID PLEXUS located in the LATERAL VENTRICLES and circulates down to the 3RD VENTRICLE to the CEREBRAL AQUADUCT then to the 4TH VENTRICLE to the SPINAL CORD and finally back up to the SUBARACHNOID SPACE

Forebrain

Prosencephalon: divides to form the Telencephalon and Diencephalon
Largest, most complicated, and most advanced of the three divisions of the brain; comprises the thalamus, hypothalamus, limbic system, basal ganglia, corpus callosum, and cortex,

Parieto-Occipital Sulcus

Parts of the Forebrain

Parts of the Hindbrain

Pia Mater

*Innermost layer around the brain, attached to the nervous tissue of the brain and spinal cord and follows all the contours of these structures -
*Holds blood vessels that supply NUTRIENTS and O₂ → brain and spinal cord.
*Forms the CHOROID PLEXUS in the VENTRICULAR SYS

Supporting Systems of the Brain and Spinal Cord

sylvian Fissure (Central Fissure)

Telencephalon

*The cerebral hemispheres; one of the two divisions of the forebrain (the other is the diencephalon).,
*A subdivision of the brain that, along with the diencephalon, makes up the prosencephalon (forebrain); cerebral hemispheres
